My wife and I just brought a beautiful little girl into the world. Her name is Elyana. 7 pounds even. Born on Monday. You can read my public announcement of the event on PCMech.

We got home yesterday and, yes, last night was a long one. We tried to take shifts and I was up from about 2:30 AM through 7 AM before I was able to catch a little more sleep. My wife hasn’t gotten any more sleep than I have - and she went through labor. So, yeah, we’re tired and happy at the same time.

Back To Business - Last Chance Sale

Perhaps its the mood because of the new baby, or perhaps because I’m nuts with lack of sleep. It could be that I also have a hefty hospital bill to pay now. Tech bloggers don’t get medical coverage. We have to pay for it.

Either way, I’ve decided to offer the 30% discount on all PCMech items one last time before Christmas. This is the same Black Friday special I ran last month. An INSANE number of people bought items during that time, but I had to shut down the special as promised when I said I would.

Well, its back. I will run this special through Christmas. No discount codes required. It is automatic for everybody. Here is the list:
